+1 on that

 

So, you'd like to have that chance to have your truck stuck in 4hi if it decides too when it's really cold out? This will not effect your tune, doing this is getting the best of both worlds.

If it dont reflash your tune then it is the best of both worlds

 

Typically handheld tunes or custom tunes are ECM and TCM. They should not be updated.

 

However, even if they are, reprogramming to those tunes isn't that hard usually.

 

I'd rather have my tune reprogrammed than be stuck in 4hi.....but to each their own.

My second day so far with the recall # 01320 and my transmission back to stock programming: so far I see a great deal of improvement... I want to continue to drive the truck before any final decision is made because my truck is back in the learning process. The shifts are not a tight as with the BB tune but the transmission is more predictable and shifts "as you would expect" it should shift; if that makes sense to everyone. I think the BB tune will quicken the shifts but for right now I want to evaluate this "update, recall" a bit longer... but up front a noticeable difference, and for the good. :thumbs:

I agree with this, I have put a couple hundred miles on. Seems to be sticking. The shifts are not always perfect, but predictable. Sitting in traffic is still questionable though. I'll be taking it on a 600 mile trip this next week so we'll see how it is after that.

I got the truck back from the dealership. Recall was done. Piece of shit may shift worse than it did when I dropped it off. Hopefully it's "learning" again. I can deal with the various small build quality issues, but the transmission in these trucks blow.

It actually seems to be driving better today. I'll update after a few miles.

Had this update done last week. I notice no difference in drivability. It still shifts like the transmission is filled with molasses.

I had the recall done a week ago and have put around 1000 miles with it. I think the transmission shifts better at medium to higher speeds for sure. The slow stuff it does a little better but it still give a hard shift sometimes and gets confused at times. But I do think the recall helped.

My transmission seems worse after the update. I might have to bite the bullet and get a BlackBear tune soon....

Experiencing the same. Update done and shifted horrific on the way home. Put the custom tune back on and after 3 days it's dramatically improved. has yet to do the 2nd to 1st downshift clunk again. almost seamless..I hope it's not too good to be true

Yeah the 2-1 clunk happens to me all the time now. I never had this problem before. In fact the transmission was one of the few things I liked about my truck from day 1. I may do a fuse pull to reset the TCM and put the transmission back in learn mode and see if that fixes anything.

I had my recall done on Friday, I did NOT re-flash my ECM/TCM back to stock prior to the recall. The recall didn't affect my tune what so ever, to be honest I don't even really notice any difference from before or after the recall but that's probably because I have a tune on my truck.

 

The only difference I might say is there is less flare between shifts, I removed most of it all when we did the TCM tune but now I can say it has even less or at least that's what I'm telling my self LOL!!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
